We delivered positive daily average comparable store sales growth in the third quarter despite a challenging consumer environment, with comparable store sales growth accelerating to 1.2% from 0.5% in the second quarter. Furthermore, our new store unit growth strategy continues to gain momentum, with six stores opened fiscal year-to-date, including three during the third quarter and two subsequent to quarter-end. We believe that our accelerating new store unit growth, an increasing consumer focus on health and wellness, and our differentiated offering – built on rigorous product standards and our Always AffordableSM pricing strategy – position Natural Grocers for long-term growth by delivering compelling value to customers and strengthening our competitive position.
